It was a great Friday night! Felt darn happy like being released from 3 weeks of bondage. It was that bad.

Since CNY we have conquered 3 essays and 2 tests. =)

And later, my music theory exam. FINALLY. =) Quite excited about it.

Upcoming up: 2 more essays within next 3 weeks.


Just do LOR... Since they like it so much.

Anyway, I suppose many people are rather put off by the media fuss over the latest scandal. I had only read one article online and can't be bothered with the rest.

I mean... Don't you ALREADY know most of what are reported are false? Unless of course I'm reeaaalllly bored and have nothing better to do, then maybe I'll read. Which is rare, and I kinda miss that feeling haha. Or rather miss having nothing better to do. =P

I think there ought to be some regulation in the media? Someone (reliable) to verify the reports? Otherwise I'd think it's all thrash. Like in our essays, whatever that we write has to be referenced from a trusted source. It's tedious but at least the reader knows there is SUBSTANCE in whatever we write (hopefully =P).

It makes me think of the difference between local journalism and paparazzi? And I'm still confused.

I think perhaps future news should be written more OBJECTIVELY instead? Many times, life is dramatic enough. If it's not, then it's probably not a big deal and they can save the trouble by not publishing.

And I don't wanna spend my few cents reading about what they think about an issue, I don't even know them and unless they do something to what they think, they are just cheap words.





PS: This is an extremely biased perspective from someone who has little knowledge about the media and how it works. Hence some of the statements might be extreme, but it's all only my opinion, so there's no wrong or right, right? =)
